Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs; washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 large sweet onion; diced
- 1 can tomato sauce (8 oz)
- 1 can of diced tomatoes (14 oz); drained

Brown the chicken on the stove (in butter or olive oil) for about 10 minutes, seasoning well with salt and pepper.

Notes
Vegan Options
- Use a block of your favorite tofu, pressed, drained and cubed.
- Make the sauce on the stovetop by first sautéing the onion, green chiles and garlic in some coconut oil. Season well with salt and pepper. After above 5 minutes, stir in your spices.
- Reduce the heat to low, and stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce and tomato paste. Simmer on low for about 20 minutes while you bake your tofu cube, (I'd do about 375; season the tofu with olive oil, salt and pepper).
- Remove the tofu from the oven and gently stir into your sauce, along with the Almond Breeze.
- You could also add 1 cup of frozen peas here!
- Garnish with cilantro and serve over rice or sautéed veggies
